A cutting device includes a ribbon conveying table configured to convey a textile ribbon having a metallized thread or filament quasi-endlessly woven/non-woven in the fabric of the ribbon; at least two cutting assemblies spaced apart from one another along the conveying direction of the textile ribbon, the at least two cutting assemblies being configured to simultaneously perform a cutting action for severing a non-woven-in section of the metallized thread or filament from the fabric of the ribbon and at least two sliding spacers spaced apart from one another along the conveying direction of the textile ribbon, the at least two sliding spacers each being connected to a respective one of the at least two cutting assemblies, contacting the surface of the ribbon and being configured to slidingly move between the metallized thread or filament and the fabric of the ribbon at the edges of the non-woven-in sections to facilitate the cutting action of the at least two cutting assemblies.

Cutting device and method for severing non-woven-in sections of threads or filaments woven in textile ribbons

A textile RFID transponder () has a textile carrier substrate () with a flat thread structure (). At least one electrically conductive antenna thread () is introduced into the flat thread structure () of the textile carrier substrate (). An RFID chip module () with a chip-bound module antenna () is applied to a first side of the textile carrier substrate () so that the module antenna () is coupled inductively into a transponder antenna () formed by the at least one conductive antenna thread (). At least one hot-melt adhesive yarn () is introduced into the flat thread structure () of the textile carrier substrate ().
